Yep Joe, I KNOW I'm a teacher...so many things I identify with. Thanks for the reminder. AND thank goodness I'm retired!

Spotted today! A blue and white 1961 or 2 Nash Metropolitan. Ohhhh I'm in love. It was parked outside the Goodwill when I came out. I was gonna go back in and yell for whoever owned it so I could show my admiration, but then reconsidered. Would have been so funny. AND it had the naked lady hood ornament! Rare rare rare. When I sold my last one, I took that one off and have it sitting here on top of my computer desk. Love it. It sits next to my 'flying lady' from some other rare car, and a Mac truck Doggie. Hood ornaments are a great collection.

So now I dream of owning another Metropolitan and then remember how difficult it was to keep it running. Ugh. Even so, cute cute cute and loads of people staring and waving when I went around town. Miss those days.

Cold out and now my outdoorsie cats seem to be coming down with something. First one, then another now 3 of the 7 are showing bad signs. I'm hoping it's something simple and will go away, but I fear this might be a bad thing. The two oldest ones are getting thin but eating a bunch. Dunno why but I've changed back to the 'common' foods and no more treats. Might just be a tummy upset. Praying for them to perk up. I will know in a week if it's serious or just something minor causing it. Sigh sigh. I'll check with animal control to see if anything is 'going around'. Outdoorsies are usually pretty hardy and don't get sick. Phooey! Hate worrying but nothing to do but wait and see if they have something treatable or if it's connected to the last batch of canned food.

No taxi tonight as they all decided not to go out. Guess they all had enough New Years Eve. So I spent the day dedecorating my apartment and the hallway! Looks bear now. but I'm sure that will fill in quickly.

Ana that seems like a long list of to-do's. Some fun though. Hope the corner is moving right along!!

Space have a nice evening.

Trippy have fun cleaning inbetween gaming!

L4l hopefully one of these days there will be peace and quiet for you to just do what you want and relax!! My neice just sold her loft bed. Hope ya find one.

Sorry, this is the first I have sat down since this morning except for quick mail checks. What a crazy busy but productive day. My internet and WT writing computer got

L4L, I have a loft bed here from IKEA, have you checked them?

TRippy, how are the pups feeling now? I hope you have some fun gaming time.

SpaceQ, how is life treating you?

Manxman, hope your day was awesome!

Gail, I am glad you are feeling better.

Connie, are the boys back?

Midgie, are you all settled in now? How is mom?

Venus, hope you are feeling better!

Gerry, do you have snow yet?

Sue, it sounds like you got the cold there too! It was bitter running the dogs today when the wind blows.

Nan, I love taking the decorations down more than putting it up. That's a rarity that your crew wants to stay home. They must have had a great time on NYE! I added a trip to Best Buy, the cleaners and the weekly grocery shopping to my list from this morning. On top of cooking up all hubby's lunches and snacks since I am now feeding him 24 hours a day so he can lose weight. He has turned himself over to me.

Ana my last visit with my Mom was very bad. I've called her since then but she has such a hard time talking on the phone my heart hurts for her. It'll be a few weeks before I can go see her again. It's very hard for me. I could use a very big hug.

Going to bed now. I worked for another care giver (and a friend) because she was very sick so my day off was not. She'd do it for me though I'm sure. I had a very hard day. PT this morning....very painful, then this afternoon I had a chiropractic appointment so my old body went through the paces today. I'm ready for bed now. Night all. See you in the AM. Sweet dreams.
